WEBINAR : Promoting partnerships and synergies for food loss and waste reduction
Hybrid Event, 20/09/2018
The 10YFP is a global commitment that was adopted at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in 2012, in response to the need to accelerate the shift towards sustainable consumption and production (SCP) in both developed and developing countries. The One Planet network has formed to implement the commitment of the 10YFP through six thematic programmes, one of which is the Sustainable Food Systems Programme (SFS Programme), a global multi-stakeholder partnership to accelerate the shift towards more sustainable food systems.
The SFS Programme will organise a webinar on ‘Promoting Partnerships and Synergies for Food Loss and Waste Reduction’ on 20th September 2018, featuring presentations from organisations whose food loss and waste (FLW) activities are open to collaboration with other actors. The webinar will be conducted in two sessions, one in English and the second in Spanish. SFS Programme members, partners of the One Planet (10YFP) network, as well as external partners are invited to attend.
